Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on or skinless)
- 12 ounces 7 Up soda
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cups soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 2 pieces green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chicken thighs in the bottom of your crock pot.
In a small bowl, whisk together 7 Up, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken thighs in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Optional: After cooking, transfer the chicken thighs onto a baking sheet and broil them for 3-5 minutes in the oven for a crispy top.
Spoon some of the crock pot juices over the chicken or use the liquid as a sauce for serving.
Garnish with sliced green onions and serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dish.
